Floral Mom

Hi everyone,

I have a card to share today that I am entering in both the Simon Says current Flickr challenge #122 where the theme is 'Mother's Day/Flowers' and their current Wednesday challenge where the theme is 'Anything Goes'.

I started by stamping and embossing my floral image with white embossing powder. I then went on to water colouring the image with my Zigs. I die cut the image using a stitched square die. 

I placed a stencil over the card base and blended some Simon Says Stamp ink with a Clarity brush to give it a nice soft effect.

The stamped image was foam mounted onto a piece of turquoise cardstock.

The sentiment was die cut several times from the same colour of turquoise cardstock and mounted onto my card. I used MFT's Wow die and turned it upside down.

I added some sequins and finished the card off by adding a small crystal to each of the sequin centres.

Well that's it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Supplies:

WPlus 9 Beautiful Boquets Dahlia stamp

Simon Says Stamp Flower Pattern stencil

Simon Says Stamp Stitched Squares die set

My Favorite Things Wow die-namics die

Simon Says Stamp Mint ink pad

Zigs - Carmine Red, Yellow, Bright Yellow, Orange, Light Green, Pale Green

sending you Hugs

Hi everyone,

Happy Labour Day if you are lucky enough to be enjoying one.

I have a card for Day 2 of Kathy Racoosin's 30 day colouring challenge here.

I used a Hero Arts large background stamp for the base of my card. First I stamped the background with Versamark and heat embossed with SSS white embossing powder and coloured it in using some different Zig markers. I die cut the whole panel with a large stitched rectangle die and then used another die to cut out a portion of the middle.

I used the large Hug die and cut it out in black and also white cardstock and added some clear Wink of Stella to the black piece for a little sparkle. Glued the two pieces together but slightly offset them.

Layered the panel up with some foam tape and did the same with the large word die cut. Added the whole panel and Hugs die cut to a Neenah desert storm card base and ran a strip of gold glitter tape behind for a little accent.

That's it for my card and thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a very nice Easter and are not too much on a chocolate overload high!!
Today's card is for the current 'Come Rain or Shine' Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp here.
Perfect day to post this card as it is pouring rain outside today after having such a gorgeous Easter Sunday yesterday of 16C.

Here's my card:

I started by stamping the umbrellas one on top of each other and watercolouring them using Zig Clean Color real brush pens in a rainbow design.

I then masked off all the umbrellas and applied Translucent embossing paste using a SSS stencil. Once dry I added the sentiment, some washi tape down each side of the panel and finished it off with matching sequins and that's my card for today.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Hi everyone,

Today's card is one that I made for the 30 Day Colouring Challenge

I stamped the whole image with black ink onto a piece of watercolour cardstock and then started to add my colours using Zig Clean Color real brush markers. Once that was finished I added tiny white dots all around the flowers using a white gel pen.

Popped the piece up with foam tape onto a card base to which I used stitched rectangle dies to create an embossed frame for my floral piece.

Added some clear wink of stella to some of the petals and some gold glitter glue to the centres. Stamped the sentiment and that's it for my card.

Thanks for stopping by,
